1. Gaze control in episodic memory
Sammanfattning : The role of gaze control in episodic recognition was investigated in two studies. In Study 1, participants encoded human faces inverted or upright, with or without eye movements (Experiment 1) and under sorting or rating tasks (Experiment 2) respectively. LÄS MER
2. Predictive eyes precede retrieval : visual recognition as hypothesis testing
Sammanfattning : Does visual recognition entail verifying an idea about what is perceived? This question was addressed in the three studies of this thesis. The main hypothesis underlying the investigation was that visual recognition is an active process involving hypothesis testing. LÄS MER
3. Exploring models of time processing : effects of training and modality, and the relationship with cognition in rhythmic motor tasks
Sammanfattning : Timing can be defined as the ability to perceive temporal sequences and regulate timed behaviors. As in other animals, our ability to make accurate time estimations is crucial in order to accomplish several activities. Organisms can process time over a wide range of durations ranging from microseconds to days. LÄS MER
4. Exploring the bits and pieces of curiosity : an information-theoretic approach to understanding what compels information-seeking
Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to investigate the computational mechanisms that drive curiosity, the motivational state for learning for its own sake. Curiosity is operationalized as information-seeking behaviors and self-reported curiosity. LÄS MER
